May 19th, 2015; my truck was loaded and all fueled up, the time was 5:00am, the weather was calm and cool as I began my journey to Oz. The road is a lonely place to begin with, but when the radio doesn't work it can become even longer. The first leg of the journey is north from Chickamauga Ga. toward Nashville Tn. Not a bad little drive, just over 120 miles and 2 and a half hours, that is if you can tolerate it. I on the other hand had to stop twice just to get out and move around, didn't hurt to get gas at the 150 mile mark just west of Nashville. I would leave the interstate behind and enjoy my back country highways, to me the drive is more pleasant and the history of this great nation still lives there.
After about 15 hours into this journey I realize that I am not as young as I once was, I have stopped for the night in Mountain Grove, Missouri. Never in all my years of travelling back home to Oz has it ever been a 2 day trip. This could possibly be the first thing God is showing me, it doesn't all have to be done in one day, slow down and rest, God can more readily use me that way.
So as I close out day one I want to thank everyone for their prayers and support, this journey has just begun...

Delays, Delays, Delays
5/02/2015
Just an update from the road to Oz, I haven't left Georgia yet. It seems as though there are delays, I have had to back up and take a second look at the reasons for this trip. I had purposed in my heart to take some time to reflect on how far God has brought me in the past year. I thought that I would be heading out on May first, but God had another plan.
God revealed to me that I tend to not wait for His full instruction. When the bus ticket deal fell through I sat back and listened for Gods instruction. The only problem was I tried to second guess what God wanted me to do.

Well there it is, the awesome truck I found. There are still things to make ready, and the anticipation mounts day by day. I believe this journey will begin soon, I have been challenged by a close friend to ask God for everything. So I am asking God when He wants me to live.
